💡 Use the Bolt app to avoid overpriced airport touts. A trip should cost €10–15; anything over €20 is a rip-off. Forus Taxi is the official airport partner and reliable.

Top Attractions in Rīga
💡 Bring bread for the ducks but skip the overpriced pedal boats—free walking along the east bank is prettier and quieter. Go on a sunny weekday to avoid crowds.
💡 Pop into the Art Nouveau Museum (small fee) for the interior experience, but the street-level tour is free. Look up for the winged griffins and sphinxes that different architects added as signatures.
💡 Arrive early (7–9am) for the best selection of fresh berries and farm cheese. The fish pavilion serves cheap sprats and pickled herring. Avoid the tourist-trap souvenirs near the main entrance.
💡 The €9 ticket is worth it for the view, but avoid midday summer queues—go just before sunset for golden light and fewer tourists. The audio guide is free through the church's app.
💡 Entry is free on the first Sunday of each month. Even if you pay (€7), the permanent collection is excellent value. The cafe in the basement has decent coffee and a quiet courtyard. Check the temporary exhibitions—often cheaper than the main ticket.
